    Hello,

    1. COMMANDPREVIEW is not yet available
    2. For any crashes please create a support request to which you add the crash report (if generated), a sample file (if it is the case) and the description of a scenario that leads to the crash occurring.

    Great questions — I’ll try to help out with both:

    1. Equivalent to COMMANDPREVIEW in BricsCAD 25?
    BricsCAD doesn't have a direct COMMANDPREVIEW system variable like AutoCAD, but there is similar functionality under the "Dynamic Input" settings or QUAD tools depending on what you're aiming for. If you're trying to see the outcome of a command before finalizing (like when drawing or modifying objects), check:

    • DYNMODE for dynamic input settings.
    • Experiment with GRIPS and the Quad Cursor Menu, which gives command previews for editing.

    Let us know what kind of preview you're expecting (like live line/shape preview or transform previews) — someone may know a workaround or LISP/tool for that.

    2. BIM Project – Dock Panel Error/Crash
    If BricsCAD crashes when using the BIM Project dock panel, it’s often due to:

    • A corrupt project folder or project.xml file.
    • Compatibility issues after upgrading from an earlier version.
    • Graphic/display driver issues affecting docked UI panels.

    Here’s what you can try:

    • Run BricsCAD as Administrator.
    • Reset user settings via the PROFILEMANAGER or create a new profile.
    • Temporarily undock the BIM panel if possible before the crash occurs.
    • Update your graphics drivers or switch to a different rendering system via GRAPHICSCONFIG.
    • If the crash persists, check the log or crash report in %appdata%\Bricsys\BricsCAD\V25\en_US\ and submit it to support.

    Also, make sure your project path doesn't include unusual characters or long file paths — BricsCAD can be sensitive to those.

    Let me know how it goes — happy to help further if you share more details on the crash!

    Cheer's,
    Reetie

    "Let us know what kind of preview you're expecting (like live
    line/shape preview or transform previews) — someone may know a
    workaround or LISP/tool for that."

    In AutoCAD MEP the commandpreview fixed performance issues when disabled. In BricsCAD, when trying to copy big size blocks make BricsCAd work with slow performance, or when using MOCORO command appears white screen.

    CVrebuilt too help with performance for splines (missing command in bricscad)

    I have no problems with Quad tools

    I tested in Windows and Linux, Any suggestions?
